No lies, 2 weeks ago I didn't know anything about postfix, cyrus, how
to setup an ldap server, sasl or anything related to a 'business
linux mail server'..... and thanksfully, with alot of effort, I
managed to learn about all of those modules and setup a working lab
composed of postfix, cyrus-imap, ldap, sogo, sasl and some startls
etc etc. I just finished making everything work with the thunderbird
addon today and I must admit that I find this alternative very
interesting so far !! :)
Thanks alot for this :D
to get back on the topic, I would admit that it is a little hard to
find good information that looks like 'course' or good tutorial that
really covers everything. I believe that this is simply because all
those things are heavily configurable and most of the tutorial I saw
lacked alot of information. Hell, just postfix in itself is a beast
when it comes down to the amount of possible option settings there is!
I personally chose self training, by reading alot of the original
manual, mixed with a few trial errors from some tutorials, more
reading! and well, make a lab with some vm (I use virtual box..) and
fix some objective... Then in the process you might have a better
idea of what kind of course you're looking for and might even find it
yourself ;p hehe, well that was just my 2 cents. no need to flame me
on that :D
in the process of building sogo I figured out that there is so much
différent things you can use...
Just as an example, I found out that you have Directory389, slapd,
apacheDS or even freeipa. Oh well, sorry for the lack of reference,
and good luck :)

G'day guys
I've been following SOGo for awhile now, used the ZEG and
played with the tutorial that Oliver has kindly made
available.
My question is I have access to a vast amount of small
businesses that I currently support and would love to
support in the area of an Exchange alternative. But my
reluctance is that I don't understand SOGo, OpenChange,
Dovecot, Samba4, Sope, etc. I was wondering if anyone
knew or could tell me where I could get training in this
area.
Currently I have a basic understanding of Linux, but I'm
looking for a cutting edge education. The local education
places only support Samba3 which annoys me to no end.
So in a nutshell, if I were to do some courses (online
preferably) what is the recommendation?
Also I just want to say brilliant venture, I love Linux
so keep up the great work.
Hello Steven,
I have been following SOGo for several months now and played
with the ZEG and tried to add SOGo to a Debian server. I
think there is a long way to go with this before I can use it
and I don't think it's a matter of training. I have used
ClearOS 5.2 successfully for small businesses. With it's web
interface it's very easy to get it to do all the things it's
capable of such as file sharing, email and hosting the
companies website. (I can't say the same about ClearOS 6)
The 'Internet' defines lots of things for us, like how
websites work, how email works and how DNS works. What it
does not define is how address books work. All I want is a
simple centralised database of email addresses that is shared
by all email users in the company.
Back in the 90's there was a fantastic thing called Lotus
Notes which was the ultimate groupware. There are no open
standards to let you create one in Linux. Whare are the IMAP
and SMTP protocols for address books and calendars?
I have no idea why people would create standards such as IMAP
yet not carry on and create standards for address books.
Unless it's so that Microsoft Exchange has no competitor in
the Open Source area.
Regards,
Wayland.
(Someone please correct me if I am wrong)

Well currently i use Horde Webmail groupware. It supports CalDav
and CardDav plus active sync capabilities with iOS and Android up
to AS 14.1
But SOGo and the native Outlook support is a winner in my books,
plus coupled with Samba 4 and goodbye Microsoft in a couple of
years I would say.
The trick I'm sure is to know how to set it up, but most
importantly how to keep it running.
Anyway I hoping that someone has an answer for my original question.

Hello:
If you are determined to get training, you can consider to buy SOGo
support to the Inverse team. You can try to deploy your own SOGo
installation and when you get stuck with some configuration you can
request a ticket and receive developer's assitance. You solve your
problem and also learn the right way to configure SOGo using the offical
support.
